    My 2 favo(u)rite players are starting at the corners in the OF tonight... oh boy!

    I miss the days where I could read you and Dave argue about Escobar and the discussion actually mattered.

    My building blocks would be Sano, Buxton, and Kepler. Sano is a power hitter teams would love to build around. Only 23 years old with 40+ HR potential. Dozier has made his living in the 2nd half destroying mistake pitches. I think Sano can get to that point, but it'll take another year or 2 to learn more plate discipline and not chase pitches out of the zone. Buxton is frustrating on the offensive side of the ball right now. Ideally he will be a table setter at the top of the batting order. Defensively we've seen that he's MLB ready and will help out the pitching staff immensely with his range out there. Kepler ideally would be the #2 or #3 in the lineup. He's certainly exceeded my expectations since he started getting more playing time. Maybe there will be a sophomore slump next year, but he looks promising enough to continue starting him at this point. 3 building blocks at 23 years old or younger is pretty good.

    If you're looking for a marketing guy.... "Pho-tball Sunday" at Arko's Thai Sports Bar

    Last weekend I met up with a group of guys to watch football and drink beer.. We had a good laugh when one of our friends suggested Chili's as an option to watch football games.
  6. Vanimal46
    Fair enough. Is there a young player, such as Polanco that Doomtints mentioned before, that could take over as the clubhouse leader?
  7. Vanimal46
    In this trade, you are the Blue Jays acquiring Josh Donaldson... You fleeced the guy.

    I'll trade you this delicious banana for your Snack Pack. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RhwCI_oIfr4/hqdefault.jpg

    We tried watching that show and stopped after 2 episodes. It must have gotten better for it to start a 3rd season.
  10. Vanimal46
    I have not. Adding those to the list as well.

    Wasn't Fargo a winter TV show? Sad that we have to wait until the spring.... I'll patiently wait for greatness, though.
  12. Vanimal46
    I've seen commercials for MacGyver... I'm crossing fingers it's good. Heard good things about Luke Cage. I'll add that to the list.

    September is a great time of year. Baseball's in the hunt for October, football is back, and new fall TV shows. There's the tried and true TV shows like Modern Family that I've watched for years... Gotham season 3, where they hopefully don't fly off the rails again... The Blacklist... Along with new shows such as "Designated Survivor" with Kiefer Sutherland, "The Good Place" starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, or "High Maintenance" on HBO. What's on your radar for Fall TV shows?
  14. Vanimal46
    It certainly would be shocking. But I think this off-season could be the right time to make a franchise altering move. I would welcome a shake up of the 25 and 40 man roster, and see which one of Buxton, Sano, Kepler takes over as the clubhouse leader.
  15. Vanimal46
    If the Twins are out of the race, by default I cheer for the underdogs. In the AL, I'll be cheering for the Indians and the Blue Jays. I've been jealous of the Indians rotation for a couple of years now. In the NL, I'll go with the cliche answer of the Cubs. I'm tired of seeing the Giants, Cardinals, and Dodgers continuously in the mix.
  16. Vanimal46
    It will be interesting to see if other teams feel he's now a 30+ HR threat, or continue on being a 25 HR threat and this is an anomaly season.

    Pohlad: "Before you go, we have a ton of these bloody marys left over in the concession stand. We were expecting more people to attend our games! Do you want one for the road?" http://gamedayr.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/minnesota-twins-burger-bloody-mary-12.jpeg

    That's how I feel too. If you squint really hard, I guess you can say Frazier as somewhat of a comp. But that deal doesn't look particularly bad on the surface when you can acquire the #66 prospect on BA's list, a near MLB-ready OF with fairly good minor league numbers (career .840 OPS) and a fill in guy.

    I feel like this became a thing 10-15 years ago. I remember in elementary school people could bring in whatever they wanted for their birthday. Now schools are going to extreme measures to protect themselves from any sort of allergy concerns. There may be a case or two where a child really could die if they are in contact with peanuts... I'd venture to guess most parents are over reacting and claim their child's allergy is worse than it really is.
  20. Vanimal46
    Those poor souls with peanut allergies.... I'd hate to go through life without peanut butter, peanut sauce, Reese's peanut butter cups...

    Nice! Get them started young with cooking! Wish I would have learned the basics of cooking a long time ago. And it's nice for you and your wife to take a day off from rattling the pots and pans too.
  22. Vanimal46
    That's probably the case. In my lifetime I've never heard anyone come into school/work/etc. and say, "Did you watch that episode of Law and Order last night?! Who would have guessed it was the ex boyfriend who killed her?!"

    We've all seen this person on posters, and perhaps even dressed up as him for Halloween! Well, the man behind this iconic poster was born on this day in 1766. Samuel Wilson is his name, and this is his day. Happy Uncle Sam Day! http://www.whatthebutterflysaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/uncle-sam.jpg Today is also National Peanut Day! There's a couple of necessities if I'm attending a baseball game. 1. I'm getting a hot dog. 2. Order a beer 3. Get some peanuts. In honor of the baseball season winding down, enjoy some peanuts while you can! Today is also National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day! A day where you're supposed to let your kiddos cook dinner for the night. If my parents let me do that back in the day, they were going to eat Macaroni and Cheese. The cooking skills have improved quite a bit over the last 5-10 years. Finally, on this day in 1990, "Law and Order" made its' TV debut on NBC! 26 years strong. Much like Everybody Loves Raymond, I'm convinced this show has been running this long without a single person watching a full episode.

    Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a Harper/Strasburg no brainer #1 pick in 2017. Of course that could change, and I'm not actively searching for 2017 draft prospects yet. God, the Twins can't even tank right!! Your line at the end is what's most important to most, I would imagine. If the front office goes outside and re-calibrates the structure, I'll be happy with that kind of progress.

    Baltimore Orioles C Caleb Joseph is closing in on a stat that no other baseball player has accomplished in history. If Joseph goes the rest of the year without driving in a run, he’ll become the first player to have at least 100 at-bats in a big league season without one RBI since the category became official in 1920, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
